connect with us to learn, teach or do biomimicry in South Africa and beyond...

BiomimicrySA is a regional network of The Biomimicry Institute. Join our regional network of biomimicry practitioners, students and enthusiasts. Participate in our local network events in Cape Town, Gauteng and KZN.

As a regional network of The Biomimicry Institute, biomimicrySA promotes the study and imitation of nature’s remarkably efficient designs, bringing together scientists, engineers, architects and innovators who can use those models to create sustainable technologies. This process of consulting life’s genius utilises a clear, proven design methodology, complete with effective implementation tools, developed over a decade of work with companies, entrepreneurial organisations, universities, governments, and non-profits. biomimicrySA connects, inspires, educates, & enables biomimics in South Africa.

Biomimicry is the practice of learning from and emulating nature's genius to create products, processes and systems that are sustainable and resilient - even regenerative. This short film below by Leonardo DiCaprio's Treemedia is a great introduction.

Biomimicry, the practice of looking deeply into nature for solutions to engineering, design and other challenges, has inspired a film about it's ground-breaking vision for creating a long-term, sustainable world. This film covers how mimicking nature solves some of our most pressing problems, from reducing carbon emissions to saving water.
